About me

I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of Michigan, working with Prof. Tim Chupp.

I received my Ph.D. in Physics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) supervised by Prof. Ayangeakaa, joining the Nuclear Structure group at Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL). During my Ph.D. program, my research explored nuclear structure at its most fundamental level, while maintaining a clear focus on its broader significance across various fields of applied science. Despite my deep-rooted passion for gamma spectroscopy, during my postdoctoral research I chose to explore new frontiers, driven by my interest in precision measurements that probe and challenge the Standard Model of elementary particle interactions. In this context, I am currently part of the collaboration working on the LANL nEDM Experiment.

When I’m not in the lab, I enjoy spending time at the climbing gym or traveling to discover inspiring landscapes and artistic masterpieces. I also enjoy cooking and sharing meals with the people I love.
